"When My Eyes Wake Up At Night To Wander”
In the stillness of the night, when the world falls asleep, my eyes awaken.
They wander through inner landscapes where the boundary between reality and imagination fades.
This exhibition is centred on nocturnal journeys; the fragile light of dreams converse with the dense darkness of thoughts.
Each work is an open window into fragments of dreams, enigmatic faces, shards of memory, ephemeral visions born
in the dark and secret resonances between the self and surroundings.
Shapes float, colours whisper.
This omnipresent eye captures, suggests, observes; it is the silent mirror between the unconscious, dreams, and reality.
"When My Eyes Wake Up At Night To Wander” is an invitation to contemplate, to drift, to lose oneself in imaginary realms, to allow your eyes to wake and wander.
For sometimes, it’s in getting lost that clarity is found, and it is
in the night that we learn to see differently.
